Alarm; Setting The Alarm; Disarming; To Set The Alarm With Exterior Protection Only - CITROEN C8 User Manual

ALARM

If fi tted on your vehicle, this provides
two types of protection:
- exterior protection: it sounds if a
door, the tailgate or the bonnet is
opened.
- interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).
A red indicator light, located in the
centre of the fascia, indicates the
information detailed below.

Setting the alarm

- Switch off the ignition and get out of
the vehicle.
- Set the alarm within fi ve minutes of
getting out of the vehicle, by locking
or deadlocking using the remote
control (the red indicator light
fl ashes once per second).
To lock your vehicle without setting the
alarm, insert the key in the lock then
lock the vehicle (e.g. for washing).
When the alarm is triggered, the siren
sounds and the direction indicator lights
fl ash for thirty seconds.
Warning - alarm triggered: the red indicator
light fl ashes rapidly, insert the key and
switch on the ignition to switch it off.
When the alarm has been triggered ten
times in succession (on the eleventh time)
the alarm is deactivated. Repeat the rules
for setting the alarm.

Disarming

Unlock the vehicle with the remote
control (the red indicator light goes out).

and open the door. The alarm is
triggered.

next ten seconds. The alarm is
disarmed.
Incorrect operation
When the ignition is switched on, if the red
indicator light remains on for ten seconds,
there is a fault in the siren connection.
Consult a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
